The dual XLR male configuration handles balanced audio signals with serviceable connectors that can be repaired or replaced without wall demolition. The 4.5" x 2.75" standard decora size fits over existing electrical boxes, making retrofits straightforward for sound technicians and installers.

Gold-plated XLR connectors resist corrosion and maintain signal integrity over time, while the stainless steel construction withstands high-traffic environments. Each connector screws directly into the plate backing for secure mounting and easy maintenance access.

Perfect for routing microphone signals from stage boxes to control rooms, connecting amplifier outputs to speaker zones, or creating clean signal paths in broadcast facilities and recording studios. The professional appearance matches other rack-mounted gear while keeping connections accessible for troubleshooting.

Installation requires only standard wall box mounting with included screws. The plate accepts XLR cables on the front face while rear terminals connect to permanent wiring or patch panels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of audio signals can this wall plate handle?

The dual XLR male connectors handle balanced audio signals including microphone outputs, line-level signals from mixing consoles, and amplifier outputs to powered speakers. The gold-plated connectors maintain signal integrity for both low-level mic signals and higher-level line outputs.

How do I wire this wall plate for permanent installation?

The XLR connectors screw into the back of the plate, allowing you to solder directly to the pins or connect to terminal blocks. Most installations use 3-conductor shielded cable (like microphone cable) run through the wall to connect the rear terminals to your audio distribution system or patch panel.

Will this fit standard electrical boxes in my venue?

Yes, the 4.5" x 2.75" dimensions match standard decora wall plates and fit over single-gang electrical boxes. This makes retrofitting existing installations straightforward without cutting new wall openings or modifying existing mounting points.

Can I repair the XLR connectors if they get damaged?

The XLR connectors are serviceable - they screw into the plate rather than being permanently attached. If a connector gets damaged from heavy use or abuse, you can unscrew it and replace it with a new XLR connector without replacing the entire wall plate.

What's the difference between XLR male and female wall plates?

XLR male wall plates like this one typically serve as outputs - sending signals from the wall to equipment like amplifiers or powered speakers. XLR female wall plates usually serve as inputs, accepting signals from microphones or other sources to send through the building's audio system.
